She's a black woman in charge. That shakes their tiny little worlds to their terribly weak foundations.

When Beyoncé combines crotch-grabbing with "put a ring on it", she might not be talking about wedding rings.

About 20 years ago, a guy who used to be my next-door neighbor pulled an eerily similar stunt: Shot his wife, two teen kids, and the family dog, then himself. Nobody ever had a clue what the hell happened, or what he was thinking.

It's rare that someone loses his mind in an instant (a blood clot in just the right place, maybe -- hard to know, since they blow their brains out with curious consistency), but it's just another reason guns in the house are generally a dumb idea. Because that's the one thing that does correlate --rather well-- with these horror stories.

Seems that K-Lo thought about sex before the Super Bowl, after the Super Bowl and during the half-time performance, so why should she be surprised?

k lo: what IS the fucking point of starving yourself of all life's good rich stuff like roast chicken with gravy and eggs benedict and french fries and fucking butterscotch pudding if you can't flaunt the results of that discipline in front of 50,000 live fans and 105 million people on tv?

i'm waiting for an answer k lo.

Seriously, K-Lo, stop waving your shaming finger at everyone.

Mostly because we can smell where it's been.

Yep. All those "conservatives" upset over a rather fleeting glance at Janet Jackson's exposed nipple. Yet just after that game started the cameras showing a player with a broken nose. The blood was running out of it like someone had turned on the tap.

Not a whimper about that, of course...

Back when the half time shows were as awful as the games.

I suspect race might not be the primary concern, although I'm not dismissing it as a factor.

My bet would be that K-Lo's <em>real</em> gripe about Beyonce is that she shows what she wants to show, how she wants to show it, when she wants to show it, because she wants to. Not because some bunch of white guys got together and told her "wear this and dance like that".

She's totally in control of her image and her sexuality, and knows how to use them without compromising herself. That freaks the shit of people like K-Lo.

If we can somehow get this comment through the Great Firewall of China, suddenly the government's problem will become getting people to have as many as one child.
